Oblation For A Parade
Oblation for a Parade is a brown wall "under construction," erected to intervene in a traditional white gallery space. Museum security prevented visitors from crossing the wall or approaching the structure, creating an atmosphere of curiosity, voyeurism, and restriction. Originally exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the installation was accompanied by a choreographed intervention with ten performers dressed in brown uniforms. The collective bodies acted as a force that moved through the crowds, asserting their presence into the museum.
